Because there were too many ancient books and materials involved, Huang Weimin did not sort them out completely that afternoon. So He Wei and Lu Qingliang said goodbye and left, agreeing to come back the next day.

After finding a place to stay in the county town and resting for a while, it was time for the regular evening meeting.

At this moment, it has entered darkness early here. In the vast sea of ​​sand, it was still daytime at the field hospital where Lu Ming was located.

During this period of time, Lu Ming had been confined to the field hospital, living a life of abstinence, eating and sleeping.

The regular meeting every night has become the time he looks forward to most.

Only at this time can he truly realize that there are still people who are doing their best to promote the investigation of the matter he is involved in. There is still progress in the matter, and hope still exists and has not disappeared.

"Today, we made a big discovery."

As soon as the regular meeting began, He Wei immediately dropped a piece of bombshell news.

"oh?"

Lu Ming, who was leaning on the back of his chair and planning to be a listener, immediately straightened up.

"Today, Qing Liang and I went to visit Huang Weimin. Huang Weimin told us a story he read in a local ancient book..."

He Wei took out the recording equipment and played the story Huang Weimin told in full.

After the story was told, He Wei and Lu Qingliang first expressed their opinions, that is, some speculations about the relationship between Organization X and the Mountain God.

After that, there was a long silence in the virtual conference room. Everyone is thinking silently.

"This story should be a real event that happened in history, rather than a 'group robbery' disguised as punishment of evil and promotion of good and natural retribution, as Huang Weimin believes."

Lu Ming first expressed his opinion.

Zhang Dingshan also nodded slightly: "It should be true. Otherwise, there is no way to explain so many coincidences."

He Wei asked: "Based on this story, what do you think?"

She asked the three people, but her eyes were always focused on Lu Ming's figure.

Ever since this incident happened, Lu Ming's behavior made it impossible for her to treat him as an ordinary person.

Even the idea of ​​"gene traceability" was first proposed by Lu Ming. Facts have also proved that after conducting this series of work, our own investigation has indeed made a great breakthrough.

Perhaps this guy who calls himself a "science fiction writer" has a brain structure that is really different from others, and he can always think of some weird directions.

At this moment, He Wei actually had an unformed idea in her mind. She felt like she vaguely remembered something, but she couldn't grasp the point.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Ming raised his head in the field hospital.

"The story says that in the decades after that poor boy, there were always people trying to kidnap people and sacrifice them to the mountain gods in exchange for benefits, so much so that it became a local custom to go bald, but no one could succeed. , this matter slowly calmed down. What I want to ask everyone is, is it true that no one succeeded?"

He Wei's body trembled, and a flash of lightning flashed through her mind.

She finally understood the key point that she had never grasped in her unformed thoughts!

Yes, the records say that no one succeeded, does it mean that no one really succeeded?

Will the person who succeeds in the end come out and promote it himself?

No matter who it is, after achieving success, they will definitely keep it secret for fear that others will know their secrets, right?

Lu Qingliang was also shocked, while Zhang Dingshan seemed thoughtful.

"Indeed. This historical record is very likely to be incorrect." Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Then, according to normal logic, what will the next step be for a successful person?"

"Look for patterns."

Lu Ming said immediately.

Human desires are unlimited. With such a stable channel where wishes can be realized by paying a fixed price, no one can give up after one try. Their only reasonable choice is to find the rules for the mountain god to accept "sacrifice", so as to increase the success rate of the sacrifice as much as possible and obtain continuous benefits.

As for what this "law" is, the ancients at the time may not have known it, but at this moment, the four people participating in this regular meeting all knew it.

Hag.1 gene.

Zhang Dingshan said slowly: "So, has anyone achieved the purpose of finding patterns?"

Lu Qingliang's breathing began to become rapid at this moment.

He remembered a possibility that shocked him.

"Could Organization Pass it on from generation to generation, so that future generations can benefit from it..."

At this stage, scientific and technological means have been used to finally determine that the missing persons - perhaps to some extent the mountain gods are willing to accept them and provide benefits in exchange for the sacrifices - have in common the Hag.1 gene.

Obviously, there was no genetic testing technology in ancient times, but through other methods, screening with a higher success rate could still be achieved. This method is also very simple.

The first thing is the thickness of the hair at the beginning. Of course, the success rate of this method should not be high.

The second method may be to use identification methods such as a certain surname or descendants of a certain ethnic group to complete the screening with a higher success rate. For example, the person who discovers a pattern may, after many attempts, discover that people with a certain surname in certain villages have a higher success rate, and can then complete the de facto genetic screening.

After all, the Hag.1 gene is heritable.

An even more frightening possibility is that the person who first discovered the pattern may "raise" these people with a high success rate like livestock, and continuously produce such people with a high success rate. Future generations will continue to receive benefits from the mountain god.

This sudden thought made Lu Qingliang feel cold all over.

After he told his thoughts, there was another moment of silence in the online conference room.

Afterwards, Zhang Dingshan said coldly: "This is indeed possible. Even now, Organization X may still be doing this. But its methods may be more advanced. Artificial insemination, test-tube babies, human cloning...

Perhaps the people they kidnapped were not actually sacrificed to the mountain gods, but were treated as 'breeders' just like breeding pigs and sheep. "

At this moment, the fear and coldness in his heart made Lu Ming even tremble slightly.

Being caught in a dark place with no hope of escape for the rest of his life, the only meaning left in life is to produce enough sperm for Organization X to "produce" a steady stream of offspring through technological means. , and then these descendants were sacrificed to the mountain gods by the X organization to obtain a steady stream of benefits.

Until you get old, the quality of your sperm declines, and you are no longer qualified for this task, you will be treated like garbage and sacrificed to the mountain gods to squeeze out the last bit of benefit...

That is really more painful and terrible than death.

"Of course, the existing evidence cannot show that Organization X is doing this. After all, the targets they kidnapped even include women who are close to menopause."

Menopausal women have basically lost the ability to have children.

However, according to the laws of genetics, as long as the man has this gene, no matter what the woman is, the offspring will have this gene, and they will be qualified to sacrifice to the mountain god. From this point of view, if Organization X really did this, there would be no need for them to kidnap women anymore.

"This seems to be somewhat contradictory to our current hypothesis." He Wei frowned and thought hard: "If Organization As an organization seeking continuous benefits, there seems to be no reason for them to reject the practice of 'tying people up to become breeders and continuously producing future generations.' But the available evidence is that they did not do this."

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table: "But there are too many connections between Organization So that Organization X cannot choose this approach.”

Lu Ming reluctantly suppressed the fear and despair in his heart, and tried his best to calm down: "Anyway, after searching through the history through screening, it is suspected that the family inheritance continues to gain benefits through a steady stream of 'sacrifice' to the mountain gods. , it can also be regarded as an investigation direction that can be tried.”

Any sane person who knows this kind of thing will understand the need to keep it secret absolutely.

So, which kind of inheritance relationship can best keep secrets and maximize benefits?

There is no doubt that there is only one, and that is family inheritance.

Passed from father to son, son to grandson, passed down from generation to generation, each generation of the family can obtain a steady stream of benefits.

Maybe the current X organization is such a family that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

This is indeed possible. Then, through this method, it is possible to find Organization X.

Lu Ming's statement was agreed by the other three.

However, there are also several clear screening conditions for how to screen this kind of family inheritance.

First, continuously obtaining benefits must mean that the family is strong. Being rich and well-known is the most basic condition. Just like that poor boy who suddenly became rich.

Second, the family's history of prosperity must follow that poor boy. This determines the time frame.

Third, there must be some kind of accident in the family's history of prosperity, which is difficult to explain with common sense - of course, there is also the possibility that the family was very powerful from the beginning when they learned the secret. But with the help of the mountain god, the size of the family suddenly and unexplainably increased to a higher level in a short period of time. The external performance will also be full of accidents and characteristics that are difficult to explain by common sense.

Fourth, there is a high probability that this family will make its fortune in Woye County. At least it's not far away.

Fifth, the family has a high probability of lasting prosperity and good fortune in times of trouble. After all, if you encounter difficulties, you can solve them by making a personal sacrifice to the mountain god. However, this may have been deliberately concealed by the family in order to clear the connection with the "Mountain God". For example, on the surface, the family was destroyed, but in fact, the golden cicada escaped from its shell and continued to exist under a different name.

Pay attention to identify this.
